Gaming headsets

I was thinking about getting the GSP 600's along with the mixamp. I'd prefer over the ear vs. on ear.

On ear sucks mule.

I hate to admit it, but I recently needed a new headset ASAP so I ran to WalMart and snagged one of these.

And honestly..... It's not bad at all. A little tight on the noggin, but the sound is amazing and my freinds say my voice comes through crystal clear.

If it works, it works, but you rolled the dice on the Chinese "will it work in three months?" table. Hopefully you won that lottery.

2.6* avg across 4 Amazon reviews and 2.6* across 8 Wal-Mart reviews would have me nervous.

I looked at the cost and went with the Rig 500HD Pro Gaming Edition headset. It's wired and over the ear. I found a coupon online and got it cheaper with expedited shipping. I'll post a review when I get them! :)

Nice. I'd not too long ago almost bought their #2 from SteelSeries but went with Sennheiser at the time instead. Very happy with both build and sound quality so no regrets – money mic too. And a nod to over-ear design in general; I can wear them for as long as I wish without any on-ear 'presence'. Life is far too short for any of that, ha.

Amen! Over-ear or no buy from me. I've got a big head and don't need my ears crushed by a headset! :)
 
I use focal clear with topping d30 dac with optical into ps4 and jds atom amp. Mic was only $40 on amazon

I just got HyperX Cloud Alpha but I cant figure out how to get the mic to work

Nobody can hear me in the games, its plugged into the front input jack (computer recognized it when I plugged it in, it popped up and said I plugged a device in) but I cant figure out how to get it working

Can anybody help me figure out if its a computer issue or faulty product?

Did you not plug your mic in? If you're on a computer you should have two input jacks: audio and mic. The green is the audio input so you can hear. The red is the mic input so you can talk.

It's possible but that your computer only has an audio input on the front port, but that's rare. They usually employ icons instead of color coding to indicate which is which, but some have both. It's popular to put them on the top, lately, but this is what I'm talking about:

On consoles you usually combine those two jacks using a splitter (that comes with the headset) to conjoin them into a single input that you plug into the PS4 controller, for example. Like this:

But that's not how PC inputs are designed. They circuits are separate. You need to plug in your inputs separately. It could be that your front mic port isn't properly connected to its motherboard header, or doesn't work.

If you suspect this, or if you don't have a mic input on the front of your PC, you need to plug into the motherboard or the sound card on the back. They always do use the color coding to make this easy to see.

After that check your sound settings. This guide is for the USB HyperX Cloud II, but the troubleshoots are the same:

Method 1 is double checking to make sure you haven't muted yourself with your audio control box on the headphone cord. Method 2 is troubleshooting your Control Panel sound setting calibrations. For Method 3 don't download their bloatware. Find your Device Manager in your Control Panel, look through the list to find your headphones, right click, update drivers. Method 4 is stupidly drastic. Don't.
 
My black ass got one of those g4me zeros awhile back since I will only maybe use it for gaming but it's primary role will be as my personal headset for phone calls.

It does pretty damn well in that role. Listening to music is a bit soft driven by a smartphone obviously but not annoyingly so. It sounds good, the mic works really well, it's comfortable to wear for a long time, and it doesn't look too incredibly stupid.

You might consider a Dragonfly if you want more volume and a higher sound quality listening from your smartphone:

They're not cheap, though:

I'm currently satisfied with these puppies.

Sennheiser PXC 550
